Hi everyone! If you have already read the first two chapters and are keeping up with the story, I highly recommend you go back and re-read them. I re-wrote a few paragraphs to make the story much better. I also spent more time on this chapter to give a more in-depth plot of the characters and story. Think of this as a filler chapter.

Enjoy!

Chapter 3: A Bodyguard and A Queen?

Yukari, now thirty-two years old, was walking down the path in the courtyard. She was wearing a pair of glasses, a skirt, and a blazer; appropriate for a teacher. She carried her teaching handbook in one arm and her purse in the other. Yukari had missed her first day of school and was already late for her second. She speedily walked to the doors entering the school and made her way to the classroom. The students were goofing off in the class and throwing paper balls and airplanes creating a large mess. Yukari stomped her foot and waved her wand around; golden pans landed on all the students heads knocking them into their seats.

"Now that I have your attention, turn to page twelve in your books and begin reading chapter two. It is about the Salem Witch Trials…" Yukari announced as she took her seat at her desk.

In another classroom…

"Kurumu, I think you and Gin should really transfer over here to help teach…" Mizore said while on the phone. "I heard from Moka that the people they're working with are arriving and a great danger is approaching… We could use your abilities and your husbands power…"

"I'm sorry Mizore, I'd really like too, but my hands are full here at Yokai. Besides, Gin can't just quit his position as gym teacher and discipline committee leader. If that danger you spoke of is there, call us and we'll make our way over to help. As of now, we can't just up and leave our positions at this school." Kurumu replied.

"Very well… I'll be sure to give you a call if I hear anything more…"

Mizore hung up the phone and crossed her arms as she laid back onto her chair. She stared at the ceiling and said to herself, "I thought everything was over and done with… Now that horrible vampire is back and is causing trouble again…" Zero took a deep breath and said, "Mizore, if you want to leave you can. I'm not going to ask you to fight a battle that isn't yours." Mizore, almost falling out of her chair in surprise replied back, "I was there when you and Moka needed me back then, I am here now... " Zero slightly smiled and got up out of his chair. He walked up the steps to leave the classroom, but before leaving he turned around and said, "Thank you Mizore. You really are a great help here."

Mizore smiled back, the bell rang and Zero left the classroom. Mizore thought about what the future may have to offer if Alucard returns. The door opened back up and students flooded the room, Mizore sighed and said, "Teaching sucks…" She stood up in front of the class and said, "Hi, I am Mizore your teacher. You will refer to me as Mrs Aido. Turn your books to page four, the process of turning water into ice."

Yuri was holding her books close to her chest and was looking down as she walked as fast as she could. She ran into a short woman and both fell back and landed on their rear-ends Yuri blushed brightly and yelled, "I am very sorry! Please accept my apologies! I didn't mean to run into you!" She tightly squished her eyes and shook her head as she continued to look down. She woman had stood up and helped Yuri stand as well, she smiled and said, "Yuri, you apologize way too much. You're just like your mother." Yuri opened her eyes and saw that the woman was her aunt Akua.

"Aunt Akua! I'm sorry for overthinking!" Yuri said in a hurry.

"Aaaand just like your father…" Akua said mockingly. "You and I really need to get together sometime with your mother. Maybe we can teach you a thing or two about being a Vampire."

"I- I'm quite content with who I am…" Yuri stated.

"Is that supposed to be a good or bad thing? I'm sorry Yuri… I know I am being harsh, but… After what happened to your brother… We all need to be at our highest potential… You have royal vampire blood in you, not to mention all of the many others blood that your father had contained back in his early youth. You are the perfect born vampire…" Akua said as she combed Yuri's hair.

"I- I know… I just don't feel…I don't feel like I can do it like they did…" Yuri replied.

"Your a Shuzen… I think it's time I tell you about your parents and their history…"

"What are you doing?..." Moka asked as she entered the hall.

Akua, startled, turned around to face her sister and stated, "We need to tell her about Rido, the original Alucard, Tsukune, father… Does she even know about Yuki and Kaname?"

Moka slapped her sister and said, "That's enough Akua… We all have already discussed that when the time is right we will tell her!" Akua bowed and apologized, she turned to face Yuri and said, "I didn't mean to scare you… I'm sorry…" Akua gave Yuri a quick hug and walked down the hall to attend to her class. Moka faced Yuri and said, "I'm sorry honey… That was very out of character of her to do what she did…"

"Who is Kaname? What does aunt Yuki have to do with what she said? Those other people she named… Who are they?" Yuri asked.

Zero now standing behind Yuri, placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Come with me Yuri, I think Akua is right… It's time we tell you the truth…" They all entered Zero's office and he called out to everyone in the building who was a part of the battle with the original Alucard. In a few minutes, Akua, Kokoa, Mizore, Yukari, and Kaien entered the room. Zero placed his hands on his desk and said, "Yuri… I'm sure as you know, we're all labeled as heroes of this school… But do you know why?"

Yuri thought for a minute and replied, "In the school's history book it states you and the others fought a powerful vampire who attacked the school." Zero nodded and said, "In that battle… Your aunt Kahlua died, my master and mentor Yagari died, I achieved a new power beyond any vampire's imagination, Yuki left to lead the original vampires of the school. You see, shortly after your mother and I transferred to her old school where we met a former friend of hers; Tsukune…"

"He betrayed us all…" Moka added on.

"Yes, your grandfather and he worked together to kill me and capture your mother… In the process of that, Kaname… Yuki's husband, died saving her… Yuki isn't your real aunt… She is actually the mother of… Your brother… I cared for him until the new Alucard attacked us…" Zero said as his head slowly went down in shame.

"He's… Not my real brother?" Yuri asked.

"No… We were attacked because of our family's affiliation with the Tepes family and her kingdom… She reached out to us to connect the good vampire families and bring peace between humans and vampires." Zero continued.

"Why did you join her?" Yuri asked. "Didn't you know it was dangerous?"

Zero paused for a brief moment and said, "I knew the dangers…"

"Zero Kiryu and Moka Akashiya… Or well, Kiryu now I suppose. It is a great pleasure to meet the hafling and royal princess who defeated Rido Kuran, Alucard, Gyokuro Shuzen, and Issa Shuzen. Although being royal purebloods, I should be punishing you to death, but they were a threat to my society. You see, I am looking towards peace in my community and well, you seem to have brought that all on your own due to sheer force." Mina stated.

"Force? I only defended myself and Moka…" Zero said with an attitude.

"I see… Well, Zero, I know that your power far exceeds many vampires I have ever personally known. You may just be the strongest male vampire in this world for that matter. You as well Moka, you are also among some of the strongest female vampire's. You see, I am here because your power will be of great use to me. We can bring harmony to the world as you did with your school. In return, we can offer riches, protection, and anything you'd like." Mina replied.

"What's the catch?" Zero asked.

"Hmm… You see, joining me will mean a target on your back. Many powerful vampires and vampire hunters will want you dead for simply just being in contact with me. However, we both know you can handle yourself in a battle. I say we join forces and make our names known, no one will want to mess with an organization that contains the Tepes and Shuzen family…" Mina replied again.

Zero thought for a long while, Moka patiently waited for him to answer, but Zero kept quiet. Mina smiled and said, "You don't have to answer now. It is just a proposition, you can take all the time you want, not like we're going to die anytime soon." Zero gave a small smirk and replied, "Mina Tepes, I accept your offer. However, if you want me to join you I have a small request."

"And that request is?" Mina asked.

"I get to drink your blood…" Zero stated as he stared her down.

Akira who was standing by got into a firm stance and yelled, "No one will be touching Mina!" Zero got up and replied, "Then we'll be leaving…" Mina, also standing stated, "Request granted." Akira quickly turned to her in disbelief and said, "What are you doing?" Mina began stripping her off her clothing covering her neck and replied, "You see, Zero gets his unique power from the royal purebloods he drinks from. Doing this will allow him to achieve another level of strength he's never seen before."

"Wait, Zero, don't drink her blood." Moka said in a firm voice.

"Why not?" Zero asked.

"Did you not just hear her?" Moka asked in irritation. "She said drinking her blood will allow you to achieve another level of strength you've never seen before. This could be dangerous considering she is one of the few ancient pure blooded vampires."

"I am willing to take the risk…" Zero said.

"You used to hate having to drink the blood of others… Now you just accept anyone who offers themselves to you?!" Moka yelled.

"She said it will be dangerous joining her… If there is danger ahead, we need as much power as we can get." Zero replied.

Moka was hesitant, but nodded. Zero approached Mina and she willfully tilted her neck. Zero bit into her and drank her blood. Akira looked away in disgust and Zero fell back after he felt the power of Mina flow within him. Zero's back began to disfigure and change shape, he rolled around as he yelled in horrific pain. Mina glanced at Moka and smirked, she gave a light laugh and said, "I contain some of the more rarer blood of vampires. You see, when his little hissy fit is over he will be able to grow wings from his back, his power will multiply, he will also be able to make others vampires and control them…"

"Are you saying…" Moka said before being cut off.

"Yes, he will officially become a pureblood vampire. His old blood has been tainted so much that the vampiric blood is now finally taking over. I'll be honest, I thought your whole family's blood would have done the trick, not to mention the Kuran's. I guess mine just finally settled in." Mina replied. "If you don't know your history of the ancient blood, I recommend you start studying. Zero will no longer be able to appear in broad daylight, he won't need to feed often anymore, but everytime he does his power grows much stronger, and lastly, his power will be sensed by other royal purebloods of the ancient line. He is now a threat to others."

"I can't be mad… You did warn us…" Moka answered back.

"Greed is a vampires worst enemy…"

Zero finally had gained control of himself, his clothes were ripped off and his wings lay spread across the floor. Zero was breathing hard and could barely open his eyes. Akira kneeled next to him and gave him a container of light blocking gel and said, "You're gonna need this if you want to survive out in the daylight." Mina smiled and said, "Oh and I forgot to mention, he will also be able to transform into his true self once he figures out how to do so. I would teach him, but I am quite busy. Until next greeting maybe. Thank you for taking part in my kingdom, we will one day coexist with the whole world and we are one step closer with your family on our side."

"A year later after this, Alucard made his first appearance and attacked us while we were blind…" Zero said.

"How did he find you?" Yuri asked. "Why did he take my brothers life?! Why not mine?!"

Zero teared up and replied, "I don't know…"

The door creaked open and there stood Mina and Akira. Mina entered the room and spoke aloud, "I'll tell you why Princess Yuri…" Everyone turned to face the Queen of the Vampires as she began lecturing the crowd. Akira stood closely by her and Mina continued to talk, "You see, after our meeting and officially becoming partners, the vampire hunting organization HELLSING got word and began tracking us down and well, I was in hiding, you on the other hand were out in the open."

Everyone kept their focus on Mina as she explained why ALucard attacked. She turned towards Zero and said, "Alucard is a vampire created by a royal human family. He is quite powerful indeed and he actually became so powerful the HELLSING organization had to shut down their project… Why your son was specifically targeted, I do not know. But why your family was attacked is because you were not well hidden."

Zero gripped his fist and slammed the desk hard, breaking it in two. Mina smirked and said, "I will be partaking in classes, but in my free time I will be training you Zero; you will indeed learn how to master your true form." Zero looked up at her and replied, "I will exceed vengeance on Alucard…" Mina gave a devious smile and said, "We both will…"
